MISS I. McCRINDLE House Mistness MUIRHEAD HOUSE MR. N. CURRIE House Captain For the second time in three years, Muirhead House has shown its great superiority over the other three houses. The unconquerable spirit of the boys has led them to a clean sweep of most events. All divisions won their football leagues, while, due to some unfortunate luck, we won only four of the six basketball divisions. Even though it was already inevitable that we had won the House Trophy, nevertheless the gallant men swept through Field Day, leaving their les- sers in their wake. This triumph, it is to be noted, is only the first in a series of victories that will make the House Trophy an annual event for Muirhead. I would like to thank the prefects, Ray From (Primary), Dave McCaw (Junior), Bob Keely (Freshmen) and Fred DeKoning (Varsity) for their hard work and devotion in bringing Muirhead to the front. Opponents beware! Muirhead will have the trophy for many years to come. The girls of mighty Muirhead House will al¬ ways go undefeated! With all our intelligence and superiority, no other house can match us. We are envied and always will be. Congratulations to all of the teams who showed their usual power and finished on top. One realizes, of course, that this year the odd Muirhead team did go down to defeat, but this can be explained by the underhanded methods of our dishonourable opponents, and the in¬ fluenced referees who turned cowardly in the moment of truth. Thanks goes to my House Mistress, Miss McCrindle, my prefects Marlene Schumacher (Pri¬ mary), Pat Daniels (Junior), Lindsay Greening (Intermediate) and Mary Parker (Senior) and all the girls who worked to bring Muirhead on to fame and fortune.

MISS M. CORBOULD House Mistress HODGES HOUSE Mr. J. Cook House Master GIRLS - HODGES HOUSE Because the almighty Hodges House possesses superiority, strength, greatness, talent, and won¬ derful sportsmanship, this year it has taken com¬ passion for the other lower houses and allowed them a few extra points. However, it is definitely a proven fact that any Hodgesite can outrun, outplay, and out jump any of the other unfor¬ tunate souls who are not a member of our elite group. Nonetheless the unconquerable members of Hodges House were not able to restrain their true ability in all fields. The Freshman girls won volleyball and also placed first in their division in speedball, along with the Juniors. A special thanks to our House Mistress, Miss Corbould, and to all the prefects and team captains who worked with the usual Hodges proficiency and ability. Although this year we were sympathetic and took pity on the other inferior Houses, next year we will strive to suppress our undying gener¬ osity. HODGES Sharp increases in subversive elements from the three other major powers force us to request the moving up of reserves. I realize that we have as yet withheld them so as to maintain a reasonable balance of power (and thereby re¬ tain interest in the House System), but the sabotage has become unbearable to even the most pacifistic of our ranks. Staff Advisor Cook has given his full support to the move, as has co-commandant Forsythe. I respectfully submit this request in the hope that we be given, in effect, the right to hit back. We would be in¬ terested to learn the official reasoning behind the decision not to win the house trophy over the last several years. The men are beginning to ask questions.

MR. R. LONGFIELD House Master SCURFIELD HOUSE MRS. C. WIGGINS House Mistress This year our house has slipped off the top rung of the ladder. But this accident was not due to a poor effort. Both boys and girls showed great enthusiasm in participating in the inter- House program. In basketball Scurfield showed its true class by literally sweeping all the titles in the boys sec¬ tion. With performances like this, one wonders if it is really possible that Scurfield came in second. A great deal of credit must be given to the prefects whose time and effort made possible our good showing all through the year. Field Day was a chance for Scurfield to dis¬ play its exciting athletes. Although we may not have had as many as other houses, our quality was naturally far superior. We fell short of top spot by only a few points. This rating, and.our rating as a whole, will no doubt return Scurfield to its place of prominence next year. A special thanks must be given to our House Master, Mr. Longfield, and House Mistress, Mrs. Wiggins. Perservance, tolerance, strength and sports¬ manship are qualities of Scurfield athletes. “The do or die, never say die house has made a terrific fight for the trophy. We illustrious ones can hold our heads up high and say WE did not let OUR house down. Remember Scurfieldites that none of the other houses colours can com¬ pare with our magnificent firery red. If any of the other houses would in future years like to guarantee THEIR success, it is advisable that they take our example and put forth their greatest (although feeble) efforts. Congratulations to you glorious athletes in Scurfield that won your classifications. Remember to keep up the good work and put the other houses to shame again next year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our house mistress, Mrs. Wiggins and our pre¬ fects Sheila Carlson (varsity), Suzanne Miller (freshman), Meredith Fawcett (cenior) and Char¬ lene Smuchilla (junior).
